Wednesday was a sort of an improvement on the previous couple of days. There were spits and spots of rain throughout the day but at one point we even had a brief glimpse of sunshine. We had a couple of very heavy showers late afternoon and early evening which accounted for most of the 4.4mm of rain.
Last year September went out in a blaze of glory with temperatures into the high twenties. It doesn’t look like we’re going to get a repeat this year as September looks like turning out to be rather on the cool side. At the moment the average temperature for the month is 13.33°C making it the coldest since 1994.
This collared dove found a pleasant roost in the afternoon on our bird table roof just outside our study window. It didn’t seem too bothered that I was standing at the window trying to take its picture. Perhaps it was guarding the remaining food left on the bird table.

I have a couple of collared doves which sit in the empty dish on the feeding station. The feeders which hang from it are full of seed but they can't reach them.
